FRE 410 Francophone Cultures of Cuisine

This course will explore the intersections of gastronomy and culture in French and Francophone contexts.  Through the lens of food, students will examine interconnected themes: tradition and innovation, national identity, immigration, terroir, gender and gastronomy, and excess and lack.  We will read works of 19th-21st-century authors, gastronomes, chefs, and philosophers.
